As of last week,@eliminary figures concerning cuts in Campus Centre salaries,have been inade public -bythe CC Board. Joyce’ Pickard, graduate representative to the Board stated that approximately $1200 worth.o!f shifts would have to be cut from the turnkey schedule, and that these would necessarily result in some reductions in services. Earlier this, year the- CC Board had been told by President Matthews to cut $5,000 from its salary budget for the second year in a row (for a total cut of $10,000). Last year, the Board was able to use money fro-m the games room enrichment fund to ‘subsidize salaries and thus- avoid having-to drop turnkey shifts. .~CThis year, however; Matthews specifically asked that a large portion of the $5,000 come from salary cuts, even though money from other sourceswas available to . subsidize salaries. Pickard said that most offthe cuts would be made in the summef or on long weekends when student demands on services are not as great..She was adamant however in the CC’s refusal to chise as long as alternatives could be . _ found., “The Campus Centre Board is dedicated to keeping the building open even if, with cutbacks,‘there’s a reduction in services,” Pickard maintained. “We intend to use one turnkey where there is normally two rather than c1os.e the building for a night and save shifts that way.” At the same time, Pickard said she would not want. to see the turnkey staff overworked because of the cutbacks. “Two things can happen in such a case,” she said. “One person can do th,e work of the two turnkeys who would normally be working the shift, or, with community understanding of the situation, people will not push beyond what is reasonable.” The turnkeys may post signs beginning “Due to shift cuts...” advising students that only one turnkey is working and notifying people of the effects. “This is another result of cutbacks,” Pickard stated, “and we only want expectations to be realistic.‘* Marg.

The renovation is a good idea; it opens it up more and, makes i,t more _of a pub-like atmbsphere, more conduciire to having a good time. I think the name’s great; it’s what its been called for a long time anyway. The name’ will give it a bit /of character.

I’ve never had the occtision to’,visit the pub but those who live on campus need some place for relaxation. If people want to be associated with a place called the ’ Bombshelter maybe that’s where they should meet.

Does anyone remember when, in November of 1971, the United States exploded an atomic bomb buried a mile beneath Amchitka Island in the Aleutian chain of islands? There was a big furor dver the test in Canada (abd other countries in the world1 but the test was, in the end, carried out as planned. ’ An interesting aspect of the test, however, was that the then chairman of the Atomic Energy Commi&&, James Schlesinger, his wife, and two daughters went to Amchitka and were present bn the Gte when the bomb exploded. Schlesinger did this to s_oothe fe,ars from-environmentalists and other peoplethat severe and irreparable damage could be done to the environinent, particularrjr the Canadian envir&ment.So if there was &radiation leak, if’there was an’earthqua,ke (Amchitka lay on a fault line), if the explosion ripped the island apait, then Schlesinger would be there to take ’ full, and-final, responsibility. But he knew that all that could have been done to prevent disaster had been done. After all, he was the man in charge. I think that this world needs more of that kind of thinking. Too often; people in jobs which can affect a huge number of other people isolate themselves from the consequences of their actions. Consider some of these examples. . Would the canisters, of deadly dioxin, buried in the Love Canal by the Hooker Chemical Company, have leaked from their resting places, causing, among other things, birth defects, deafness, and chromosome damage, if some of those barrels had bee? buried in the backyard of the President of the company? Would the Ford executives who vetoed spending,$g per Pinto to correct the car’s . faulty gastank (admittedly a large expenditure when one considers the number of cars being made) have made that decision if they had to drive those cars themselves? Would safety. standards be higher in mines if mine operators and ownershad to spend some timeXevery so often down in their own mines? Would people take more pride in their work if they knew that they-would have to use the goods and services which they produced? Would generals be so willing to spray Agent Orange or other toxins in the battle zone if they knew that they vould soon be going into the same area;or would be nearby when the actual spraying took place? , Too often people living in p&h suburbs &cide that a chemical dump will be made in places where other people will live, peopl;! who design faulty Pintos drive Continentals, people who own or operate mines live always in the daylight never fearing a cave-in, workers who build Chevrolets drive Fords, and-men who direct wars dwell in calm. People take some resonsibility for their actions, the executives an& workers can be fired, the owners can be fined, and the generals can be dismissed. But few are brave Enough to take full and total responsibilitv. I do not ad\ioc&e that people accept this sort of full responsibility from vengeance it wouu be inhumanly cruel to take pleasure fr$prn the fact that the people higher up “got it”, too. But I do think that it would make decision makers think through to the v.ery end the full consequences of their decisions before they make them and therefore minimize any damage their decisions may cause. j Thus, if another. Love Car@1 took, place, if more veterans contracted cancer from herbicides us’ed in war, or if more cars were made withserious defects, then we would at,letist knoti that, in all probability, all that could have been done to prevent these accidents had been done. ’ ’ Stu Dollar L

The Long Riders is a successful blending of authenticity and “legends of the Old West”: Director Walter Hill-has done a fine job on this movie. Rather than a flashy Clint Eastwoodstyle western where the hero is superman and handguns report like howitzers, Hill has chosen to create a naturalistic setting and a feeling for the times of the picture. Missouri doesn’t look like Death Valley. Passengers on a train are entertained by a jews- + harp and a song instead of being accompanied by a symphony archestra. Rather than drearily destroying legend with facts and figures The Long Riders presents protagonists who are undoubtedly human and yet undoubtedly special. They are a mixture of hell raisers and avenging crusaders. _ ___ _The novexy-of this~movie~restson the actors picked to play the characters. James and j Stacey Keach playthe James brothers. David, Keith and Robert Carradine play the Younger brothers while Dennis and Randy Quaid portray yet another pair of outlaw brothers. DBvid Carradine steals many scenes. His rough-hewn characterization of Cole Younger contrasts well with James Keach’s\pristine portrayal of Jessie James. -The Long RiBe~~‘remains--a-~t~~~~western complete with gunfights and train robberies. The James/Younger story retains its mythic aura in this well made version of the tale. Actors and director are to be credited for the care and skill that they have invested in this picture.

- booking agents. The CEC ‘80 agenda includes presentation of 19 bands and acts over the three weekend evenings. “The showcase talent has been carefuly selected for its suitability to (the university crowd),” states Donlon in the CEC ‘80 Conference ’ Manual. “The college and university market is a large and valuable part of the music industry,” she states, “mainly because (students) spend millions of dollars in entertainment a year, and supply ideal venues in which to break new talent.” CEC ‘80 is being hosted by the university of Waterloo Federation of Students.

The Editor, At the %nd of the Fall ‘79 term, after I was fed up with all the B.S. that The :Chevron had to offer, I wrote and expressed my opinion in this column. I did not know it would win me the honour of being put on the Chevron’s Black List along the side of the Federation, Eng Sot, and other anti-Chevron students. Mae Chong wrote the column. She should be ashamed ‘of herself for being part of a Commie paper. Perhaps she does not have any relatives in Mainland China, but I do. I have uncles, aunts and cousins there suffering under the Communist government. You are damn right that I hate Communism. From the stories that my mother told me about the hardship she went through under a Commie government, I am glad to be in this Capitalistic country. Where would I be if I , was -in China or any Commie. country today? You can bet your life that I would not be in a University getting an education. She also said that I won’t let anything exist just because I don’t agree with it. Wrong. I don’t care if The Chevron exists and continues to publish trash, as long as it is publishing without my money. The money I earn by working and not by - ]olning an organization that 1 don’t believe in. Face it, the only reason The Chevron club wants to be part ot - theStudent.+ Federation is because of the Fed’s money. What kind of a phoney is the Chevron that it wants to be a part of an organiiation which it condemns constantly? And by the way, who is the one that .wants to eliminate those that are _-disagreeable? Who started the petition I that *‘killed” two Federation presidents that ‘wetie against The Chevron? I think ,The Chevron is hoping that one day, there will be no one else to run, so their man can ‘finally .get in and The Chevron can take over the Federation. Just 16ke the Russians try to take over the .world: This goes to show that rotten minds think alike.
